"I think it was one of the best games Ruth [Riley] has had all year. You
can credit her work ethic. She played smart today."

On Liberty:

"They are the kind of team you hate to play because they play so hard for
40 minutes. I thought in the first half they outworked us. They [Liberty]
out-hustled us and just played harder. I think that was a sign of how much
they wanted to win the game."

Notre Dame Center Ruth Riley:

On her performance:

"I was disappointed with how I started the season - getting into foul
trouble a lot.
I felt like coming in that was the first thing I needed to take care:
playing smart and being able to stay in the game and from that just play
the game."

Liberty Head Coach Carey Greene:

On the game

"This was a good opportunity for the Lady Flames to be challenged against a
top- 20, a top-10 team. Notre Dame is an unforgiving team. You make a
mistake and they are going to capitalize on it whether offensively or
defensively. We were exploited in an area that we are young and
inexperienced in."

On his team:

"We are going to get better as the season progresses. I'm not ashamed, in
fact, I am very proud of the ladies and how they stood in there and fought.
We can take some positives out of this. We can play with a lot of teams
if they do what we ask them to do: execute and rebound."

Liberty Guard Sarah Farley:

On the play of Notre Dame:

"Notre Dame was very well coached I think they understood that we were
young in the post and they knew to get it into Ruth [Riley]. She did a
wonderful job and she's one of the top players we are going to go against
this year."

"We're going to take many positive things out of this. To play North
Carolina or Notre Dame, was a great opportunity. As for as confidence
level, we can play with anyone if we just go the stuff that we need to do
well. If its stopping a 6'5 post player [Riley] that's All-American is what
we have to do then we are going to do our best to do that."
